NAME

hrename - rename or move an HFS file or directory

SYNOPSIS

hrename
hfs-src-path
[...]
hfs-target-path

DESCRIPTION

hrename
changes the name and/or location of one or more files or directories. If only
one source path is specified and the target path is in the same directory as
the source, only the name is changed. Otherwise the source object is moved as
well as possibly being renamed.

If multiple source paths are specified, the target must be a directory, and
all of the source objects will be moved into it (keeping the same names.)

If the source path refers to the root directory of a volume, the volume name
will be changed. The root directory cannot be moved. Note that volume names
can only have 1-27 characters, while all other names may have 1-31 characters.
